Generation C

Speed

The efficiency of small electric motors with a low capacity is for the most part determined by the power loss of the bearings. The new design and high-quality components considerably reduce the friction in the bearing. As a result, the efficiency increases significantly. This also reduces energy consumption, which in the end yields economical and ecological advantages for motor manufacturers, plant operators as well as for the environment.

Generation C Speed

Noise behavior has always been the major quality feature in the electric motor industry. The deep groove ball bearing is the machine element that separates static components from rotating components and therefore inevitably causes vibration and noise. With our new design, we and our customers are on our way to meeting future environmental requirements.
